You might also click away from any site that offers a "one-time purchase." The building of a true residual income (the main appeal of Network Marketing) will require that products sold have high value at a fair price--thus prompting customers and downline members to make repeat purchases. The truly successful in Network Marketing have spotted this wave and are involved with companies with valuable and consumable products.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wave 3 - Compensation For The Part-Time Networker ----------------------------------------------------------------------

The most important wave in network marketing today involves rush toward fairer compensation plans. Going and soon to be gone are compensation plans that reward only "heavy-hitters." The biggest wave is among companies who understand that most networkers start out "part-time." These part-timers expect and must be rewarded quickly for their efforts...or they quit.

Here's a simple test to see if company you are considering has "caught wave of fair compensation." Put twenty people in your downline - four below you and four below each of these. Assume that each person in downline has purchased $100 of commissionable products. How much will you earn each month in residual income on 20 in a downline? If figure is not $700- $1000, you should move on to a company who does!

CAREFUL! Like all industries, it's shark infested waters!! If you are not 100% sure in selecting a MLM business, you may want to ask "surfing dudes" like ourselves :)

Surfers can't create waves. They can be taught to SPOT a good wave and enjoy a great ride. The same is true in Network Marketing.

Waves come and go. Real waves create Trends. Learn how to spot a REAL wave, get on board, and enjoy ride to success!

You've probably heard following cliche before, but it's worth repeating: "Marketing is a numbers game." The greater number of contacts you have with a prospect, greater chance they will finally act on your offer.

Different prospects will, of course, be at various stages of sales process. Some may be just one follow up contact away from acting on you offer; other prospects may require several more contacts before they finally act.

The question is, will you persist at follow up long enough to motivate your real prospects to act on your offer?

Follow up may seem like a mundane activity, but if you want maximum sales (online or off), you should seriously consider implementing a systematic follow up system. Otherwise, you're probably wasting a significant percentage of resources you invest to acquire your leads, and are overlooking a gold mine!
